During my Web travels of late I've come across a few things that I thought were really interesting. Here's a compendium for like-minded people:

1.) Hot Mariah Carey photos - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution site ran this slideshow of pictures from Mariah Carey's appearance at Philips Arena last week. I would recommend a box of Kleenex and a small jar of Vaseline before clicking that link.

2.) Led Zeppelin boots - On Dime A Dozen.org a guy going by Big Bad Bill has been posting tons of great Zeppelin bootlegs. I've collected a 4/27/69 soundboard from the Fillmore West that sounds virtually as good as an official release! Also Memphis `70, Bath Festival `70 (UK, where they first became heros back home), Berkley `71 and Belfast `71 (first public performances of "Black Dog," "Stariway" "Going to California" and "Rock n' Roll"). The guy is real nice and replied that he would try to fill one of my special requests!

Unrelated to this, I shall also soon receive a copy of the 4/28/95 Page-Plant show at the Omni that I was at. The show was actually kinda flaccid but I was still foolish to erase the cassette I made off of Z-93's broadcast 11 years ago. Now I'll have it on CD!

3.) Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey chatting backstage, VIDEO! - Hearing all that old Led Zeppelin got me surfing around reading about them again, and a site called Stryder.de has a fantastic multimedia page that includes this candid video of Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey chatting backstage discussing acoustic guitars! Curiously I put this on the Telecaster forum and no one seemed to give a shit. Oh, well. My two favorite singers and rock legends hanging out shooting the breeze...wow.

Another interesting thing on that same page is Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones accepting their Grammy Lifetime Achievement award. I think the camera catches them snickering at Lynrd Skynrd, or maybe it's just me. All well worth looking at.

Boy, I dunno...Mariah Carey? Maybe 10 years and 50 pounds ago.

Well...I don't know, I think she still looks pretty good. You really think 50 lbs? I might say 10. I would say she's too old for this hot pants act now, but Janet Jackson can certainly still do it at 40.

Okay, Janet I'll give you...though she still has that "Jackson thing" going on that creeps me out a little. I'd malfunction her wardrobe in a heartbeat, though.

Hi:

Zeppelin live recording collector here. I've got over 150 concerts...looking to contact other collectors to swap for concerts and recordings I still don't have (especially "73, '75 and '77 concert tours). Also, worked for many years with another famous band, from Boston, and have some "one of a kind" recordings of them. All replies get answered.
